A New Adventure

During our road trip, we found out that God blessed us with a new addition to our family.

Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip Part 5

 Last Part of the PCH Road Trip. WARNING! Picture heavy post!

We arrived in Monterey at about 3:00PM. Enough time for us to settle in the hotel and rest for a while.  Around 5:00 we made our way to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Its great that the place is open until 8:00 on the weekends. They even had a Jazz band playing and set up a liquor stand. Nice!

After Hearst Castle, I wanted to check out Sebastian's Store. Again, being the Yelp groupie that I am, I've read a lot of good reviews about this place.  However, I failed to check their store hours and didn't realize that they close at 4:00.  We got there at 6:30 :\

Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip Part 2

After getting our fill of Mexican food, we proceeded to make our journey on the PCH.  The weather chose to cooperate and we were enjoying the cool breeze coming from the Pacific Ocean.  It is a very welcome respite from the LA heat.

San Luis Obispo -- roughly halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles -- is home to the Morro Rock.  "Morro" is Spanish for crown. It was named such a Portuguese explorer in the 1500s.  This historic landmark is actually a volcanic plug formed millions of years ago from extinct volcanoes.  A causeway was built between the rock and the harbor so people can drive up close.

I have always wanted to go on a road trip along the PCH. So when DH and I were brainstorming where to go for our anniversary getaway, I suggested a road trip along the coast.  He agreed and I started planning our trip. It was supposed to be just the two of us, but we can't bear to leave Macu behind. And since MIL and BIL are off that weekend, why not make it a family road trip then!
